4CRM Mackay Community Radio

4CRM - Community Radio Mackay - runs on a promise written right on its masthead: something for everyone. The volunteer presenters of this Mackay station play an almost endless variety: the 60s through to today, pop, rock, country, soul and blues, jazz, plus religious and ethnic programs, request shows and countdowns. Whatever the hour, the station says, you will hear a song you love - and probably a presenter you know.

That is what community radio looks like in regional Queensland: locals behind the microphone, playing for their neighbors in the sugar city and the towns around it, from the northern beaches to the mining communities inland. 4CRM broadcasts on FM in Mackay and streams live online, so the variety follows listeners beyond the region - former Mackay locals included.
